Steffen Baumgart was really angry – but the coach of 1. FC Köln did not want to publicly provide concrete reasons for the 1: 6 defeat at Borussia Dortmund immediately after the final whistle. “I’m not going into details now, we got our ass full today, that’s just the fact,” Baumgart said on Sky on Saturday. When asked what didn’t work, Baumgart answered after a long hesitation: “Everything.”
The FC coach responded with incomprehension to the Sky reporter’s question as to why the 3-2 win against BVB in the first half of the season didn’t work as a blueprint. “Blueprint? In football? I don’t know what blueprints you have, but I don’t have any blueprints – especially not against a team like Dortmund,” replied the 51-year-old.
When asked about the first Cologne striker’s goal by Davie Selke (42nd) to make it 1: 4 after four previous goalless games, Baumgart reacted impatiently. “If I start to be happy about a striker’s goal – that’s nonsense, that’s nonsense,” he said.
In the next two weeks until the derby against Borussia Mönchengladbach on April 2nd, Cologne’s coach also sees himself in demand as a psychologist. “You can tell from the boys that they start thinking in one situation or another,” said Baumgart: “I’ve been asked twice and I have to give twice the answers.”
